Afternoon guys. The Impreza seems to have a small issue with moisture when it's been standing in these freezing temps. I had this on my old MK2 Golf and fixed it with a couple of small bags of silicone in the door pockets but for the life of me I can't remember where I bought them nor can I find them on the internet.

If anyone has other ideas on absorbing moisture or where to buy these bags I'm all ears

silica gel. This for example...

Then it in old socks/tights and stick i n door pockets and the boot. They will need drying out from time to time in the airing cupboard or a cool oven.


Assuming, of course the car isn't leaking....

No more condensation on the inside of the windows in the morning since I put one of the small ones in the car. Just microwave them and use them again when they've absorbed all they can. I'm sure there are cheaper ways of getting the same thing but I'm lazy and this is very convenient.

Little mini dehumidifiers seem to work quite well if you remember to microwave them regularly.
